o     Defense Technology Security Administration 
 
DTSA is the DOD organization that reviews applications for the export of 
items that are subject to the dual-use license controls of the Commerce 
Department and the munitions controls of the Department of State.  DTSA has 
about 130-to-140 staff, is located in the Office of the Secretary, and 
administers DOD technology security policy so that the U.S. is not 
technologically surprised on the battlefield.  DTSA reviews applications 
involving dual-use items for reasons of national security, proliferation 
cases and munitions controls.

o     Foreign Disclosure and Technical Information System 
 
FORDTIS is a classified information system that contains an automated 
database of munition and dual-use export licenses.  The system is 
maintained by the Defense Department's Defense Technology Security 
Administration.

o     Export Control Automated Support System 
 
ECASS was implemented by the Commerce Department in 1985 to automate a 
paper-based system.  The system currently provides: 
-     electronic submission of application forms directly with the use of 
      value-added network vendors; 
-     optical character recognition of applications submitted on paper; 
-     paperless workstations for all licensing officers to review the 
      application, route it to other officers, branches, or external 
      agencies, and to enter their final action along with most riders and 
      conditions; 
-     automated audit of all licenses issued; and 
-     real time management reporting on Licensing Officer workloads, 
      average processing times, counts and times by license type, 
      destination country, commodity code, and other data.
